Any other cycling fans?

I was watching Le Tour this morning and I swear I saw a Buell Ulysses as one of the bikes leading the Peloton. Sucks that I didn't keep the DVR capability when I switched to Directv.

Anyone else see it and possibly confirm it to be a Buell. Still a great race. Watching cycling races is actually pretty fun. There is a lot of drama and strategy that comes into play every stage.

Yes, that was a Buell.

The rules have been changed. Rather than allowing 1200cc twins into AMA Superbike, they are going to allow them to compete in the Tour de France.

They are dominating the competition.

Dude,

you don't need a DVR....

Versus replays it 4 times a day!

As a traditional cycling purist, I'm actually feeling quite guilty for enjoying the 8pm replay with Bobke & Hummer better than Phil & Paul......

Heresy!!

I can't watch it every time it is shown. Although I wouldn't mind.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Yes, I saw a Uly... this year they seem to have a lot of different types of motorcycles following the tour.
Did anyone see the motorcycle crash coming down off of the Tourmalet? Like that descent isn't interesting enough already.
I just wish they would quit going to commercial every time the riders start to head down hill.

That must be some fun trying to keep up with a road bike on those twisty descents.

Then add to that a goober photographer hanging off the back of your bike with all his cameras rotating back and forth, trying to capture that one in a million shot!

I can barely keep my butt in the saddle...
